It’s
Show Time…
Every
year, as part of our fine arts program, students of St. Francis Xavier
School participate in a Christmas Show. Performing in such an event
promotes both poise and stage presence within each child as a part of
their overall education. Therefore, every student is expected to
participate in the show in order to perform in front of a live audience.
We feel that this type of experience is invaluable.
Each
family was issued four (4) tickets and assigned a date to attend our
show. If you have been issued more tickets than you need, please return
your surplus tickets to the school office A.S.A.P. in an envelope
marked: Surplus Show Tickets. These extra tickets will be given to
families who need more than the allotted four on a first come, first
served basis. Should this be the case with you, please call Mrs. Konzen
who will assist you in locating extra tickets.
Also,
if the date you have been assigned is not convenient with you, please
contact on your own, any school family who has been assigned to attend
on the evening of your primary choice to see if a “swap” in dates can
be arranged.

Matinee: Thursday, December 15th
10:00
A.M. – Holy Cross Hall
The
Senior Matinee is for grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends.
Please contact Mrs. Konzen for any special seating arrangements.
Students may want to come to school on Thursday dressed in their
costumes, if the pants, slacks or skirts that are part of the costume
can be comfortably worn to class. Otherwise, the students need to bring
their costumes.
Our program is expected to last approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. As
a courtesy to all student performers, it is imperative that all parents
wait until the end of the show – including the FINALE performance – to
pick up their children. For the safety of the children, only after the children
have cleared the hall, may everyone leave to pick up the children in
their classrooms. Parents are asked to use the OUTSIDE DOORS leading
into their classrooms as the pick-up point. As a safety precaution and
in order to avoid congestion, no one will be allowed to enter the upper
school building through the center hallway.
In
Regards to Picture Taking…Flash photography can affect the children
during their performance, therefore, we are RESTRICTING audience
members from taking pictures during the performances. For those of you
who wish to take your own videos of your children’s performances,
please know that this option is open to you. HOWEVER, taping the show
on video must be taken from the side aisles. No one will be allowed to
video tape from the center aisle or by the front of the stage where the
children will be performing. These areas are reserved for the
children’s performance and exits. As a reminder, David Hansen-Sturm
will be video-taping both days and will be offering his DVD to us.
Order forms can be found in the school office and in Holy Cross Hall
both days of the performances. In addition, the seating section at the
back of Holy Cross Hall must be kept clear for the children to exit
following their performance.
Thank you for your attention to all these details. Enjoy the show!
